Leon Smith is ready to give Andy Murray more time to decide to play in the Davis Cup next month after announcing his initial four-man team today.

The world No 1 has been left out of the squad to face Canada on February 3 despite his early exit from the Australian Open.

Great Britain have called up Dan Evans, Kyle Edmund, Jamie Murray and Dominic Inglot.

But Smith said: “We will continue to speak with Andy in the coming days regarding his potential involvement and if he decides he would like to be part of the team then we can of course change the nominations as necessary.

"There’s time. You can still change two out of the team up until Thursday morning.”
